With operations management, clinical/EHR capabilities and analytics to give us a holistic view of our operation, we have complete confidence that our Pegasus properties will be the type of highly sought after communities that seniors and their families rely on to provide excellent care,” said Chris Hollister, co-founder of Pegasus Senior Living. “We look forward to utilizing MatrixCare’s comprehensive suite of technologies to enhance the lives of the residents we serve.”
